World-leading research institutes have agreed to join forces with funding agencies and policymakers to create the European Open Science Cloud, the largest shared data repository in history.
The idea is to give every scientific user access to the data resulting from research carried out with public funding, using a single login.

By 2020, it could grant the science community direct and easy access to scientific data generated by publicly funded research, and used for scientific publication.
Broad agreement on the go-ahead came during the European Open Science Cloud Summit in Brussels, Belgium, on 12 June.

Carlos Moedas, the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, described the European Open Science Cloud as a one-stop shop for scientists to pool their observations, and as a commons for European science.
